DjFlin

How do I get this food into hungry hands?

drive to dublin or kildare,even maynooth and start handing out.

Get in touch with homeless shelters, hop on the good auld 66 or the train even. Many many people sitting on the streets of Dublin tonight that would greatly appreciate your generous offer.

Gee_G

Ring around to homeless shelters in your area, I'm sure they would be more than happy to collect!

Why didn't you PM in the first place rather than posting so everyone could see how brilliant you are? Or better yet get your own sambos to hand out rather than piggybacking on someone else's generosity. :pac:

Well done OP.

DJFlin is going to get some good karma from this, Jay D shouldn't be trying to hog some of that karma.

Offering to spend your Christmas Eve driving around handing out food to the homeless I think you'll find is a very generous thing. Whether the offer was made publicly or privately makes no difference.

My cynicism may have been mis-directed but is justified.

Skangers.

Best of luck with it. You should find a few of the homeless in Temple Bar, O'Connell Street, Westmoreland Street, Grafton Street, Nassau Street, Dawson Street, and Kildare Street. Can always give them two sandwiches each if you are stuck for time, or give them each a couple and they can give some to their friends.

It is a great thing you are doing, have a Happy Christmas.

Mocha Joe

What's on the sangwiches?

someone was on pat kenny last week. he decided to do something. he hired a van, got a load of food and sleeping blankets.

went to hand them out but couldnt off load them. nobody wanted his stuff, i cant explain why.

mikemac1

That was Joe Duffy show

Funniest slot in a long time

He was lucky he wasn't punched.

Going around to doorways and waking people up and questioning them

And then wondering when they told him where to go!

yah you're right. still the guy made an effort, and it was during the cold snap. he probably didnt want another guy to die like in bray. he made an effort and it was rebuffed.

moral of the story, distribute food through the proper charities.

Should have asked for 200 fags on your Christmas list, my kid says that Santa will be over Galway around 12:15, save yourself the walk. Maybe you could text him?

I think it's fair to say,DJflin is a legend.




Fair play man,seriously.

Well done to the op!

I tried to volunteer with Simon this year but they never got back to me. I did manage to hand in a bunch of old clothes for the homeless of Dublin this year.

anncoates

Like a lot of people, I'm sitting in a warm house having a drink after wrapping the presents and it's safe to say I'm more than a little shamed by your generosity and largess.

Fair play and happy Christmas.

If you look close you will see the ticket in his hand, he paid for 2 seats, not withstanding to the right.

Good on you op, nice thing to do. Simple effort to make sure food doesn't go to waste. Well done.
